    A lot of English Literature majors go on to work in Finance

    I thought I recognised you, you're the clerk from the local bank, aren't you?

    This is not the greatest song in the world, this just a tribute.

    How do you deploy the wrench if you are unable to determine upon whom one should apply it?

    * In designated free speech zones.

  5. Take away the guns and no-one has them, or if they do they have virtually no opportunity to use them because the guns and ammo are hugely expensive and the penalties can be huge. It is also pretty fucking obvious that if someone is wandering around with a gun they are insane and breaking the law, not some sort of wannabe vigilante.

  6. Re:Smart people can be dumb on George "geohot" Hotz Arrested In Texas For Posession of Marijuana · · Score: 1

    It's more an "industry" affair than a festival...

  7. Re:Thespians on Pay the TSA $100 and Bypass Airport Security · · Score: 1

    Until you remember that these are probably the people whose votes are responsible for it, but they don't think it should apply to them.

    The only company that's tried it is Valve and they have said that's it's a huge success.... http://www.shacknews.com/article/57308/valve-left-4-dead-half

  9. Re:huh? on James Whittaker: Focus on Ads and 'Social' Destroying Google · · Score: 1

    It is pretty useful when you can't find a video you have seen previously that is badly named... If you don't want it logged don't watch when logged into youtube?

  10. Re:Please read this on The Windows 8 Power Struggle: Metro Vs Desktop · · Score: 1

    Every time I see those Metro tiles I wonder how long it will be until they become like the xbox dashboard, surrounded by distracting ads and hideous.

  11. Re:How ergonomic! on The Windows 8 Power Struggle: Metro Vs Desktop · · Score: 1

    But now there are a lot of people who don't understand that they aren't the target market anymore, who don't like the new UI because it wasn't designed for them.

    The problem is it was these people who were persuading the "Farmville customers" to switch and keeping their systems running... Now we have to apologise for asking them to switch and get them to learn another desktop environment that isn't so inherently ridiculous.

    Alright then! Time for a reboot.

    That's really interesting, you should write a guide! You think I'd have any luck with a Z68 mobo? I already have a 6880 and hate dual booting...

    Fantastic solution - I volunteer to me the grader

    Sorry, you failed.

  16. Re:Steam Box AKA on Valve Reportedly Working On 'Steam Box' Gaming Console · · Score: 1

    Free online play? Reasonably priced games? (Hopefully) decent quality hardware? (Hopefully) usable as a media centre (360 fanbois, don't even bother trying to convince me it's an acceptable media centre)? Quieter than a jet during normal operation?

  17. Re:I still don't get it on US Prosecutors Have a Sealed Indictment On Assange, Say Leaked Files · · Score: 1

    Well, it is a regular Finnegans Wake of a comment, I could literally read it all day and if I was bulimic I probably would.

    Maybe instead of attacking me you could clarify what you were trying to say because any reading of your comment makes it clear that you think Manning did it because he had "Gender issues" and wanted to "get back" at someone, which frankly, is rather offensive. Like yourself in person, I suspect. (if you can't find the source of the faint smell of piss, it's probably you).

    USA doesn't extradite to the UK, you were too fond of IRA terrorists to agree to a treaty.

    He did it because he was gay? Is that your assertion? I think there's one coward in the room and he's not the one who risked death to reveal the truth to the world.

    To be fair it does go against about 100,000 years of precedent in agriculture...

    They are probably only testing for the presence of the roundup ready gene, if Monsanto was modifying as much as 5% of the DNA of the crop it would be quite a remarkable achievement.
